Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1637: Game Released

Lu Xiaoping took the cell phone and realized that Tengda Corporation’s official account had released a clarification announcement.

The content of the announcement was very simple. It was to simply collect the false information and refute the rumors. It said that the movie ‘The Future You Choose’ did not maliciously attack or discredit any domestic company. Please don’t take it to heart. patiently wait for the movie to be officially released.

Lu Xiaoping was stunned for a moment. He looked at Nie Yunsheng and asked, “Why does Boss Nie think that this is admitting defeat?”

“Perhaps Tengda Corporation really did not target us in this movie?”

“I think this clarification announcement is quite sincere.”

Nie Yunsheng chuckled. “How is that possible?”

“If we really guessed wrongly, Tengda Corporation did not target us in this movie. Would Boss Pei have to clarify in such a hurry? Wouldn’t it be better to watch us jump into the pit?”

“What would you do if you were Boss Pei?”

Lu Xiaoping thought for a moment. “I should deliberately condone or even fan the flames to spread the rumors wider. After all, the bigger the rumors, the worse we’ll fall.”

Nie Yunsheng nodded. “That’s right. If Boss Pei really has the confidence, this choice is the best solution.”

“The intermediary would not comment on this. He would not express his stance and wait for the popularity to slowly dissipate.”

“If the official platform clarifies it, they would be admitting it.”

Lu Xiaoping frowned slightly. “However, according to Boss Nie’s words, didn’t Boss Pei make a bad move? Boss Pei has always been strategizing and has a long-term plan. How could he do such a stupid thing? Don’t tell me he was luring the enemy.”

Nie Yunsheng shook his head. “I think Boss Pei is not muddle-headed. Instead, he is at a loss. There is no other good solution.”

“That’s because we’ve already accurately pinched his seven-inch Spirit Root.

“If ‘The Future You Choose did not hint at us, Boss Pei would have many ways to deal with it. Whether we wait or add fuel to the fire, it would be the best choice for Boss Pei.”

“However, if you choose the future to reflect on us, Boss Pei, everything would be wrong.”

“If you don’t do anything, you’re rearing a tiger to cause trouble. If you add fuel to the fire, you’re courting death.”

“Therefore, Boss Pei has two purposes for clarifying now. The first is to clarify the rumors and eliminate the impact as much as possible. The second might be to bluff and mislead us, making us feel that this movie did not target us and force us to give up this strategy of public opinion war.”

“That’s why we cannot fall for his trick. We have to execute this strategy more firmly.”

Lu Xiaoping felt a little dizzy. He did not know what level the game was on now.

His first reaction was that he felt that Boss Pei should not be able to do such a muddle-headed operation. There must be a problem.

However, Nie Yunsheng felt that Boss Pei might have used their mentality to deliberately make a seemingly muddle-headed operation to mislead them.

What’s more, from various signs, if Tengda did not film a company that reflected on the Tengda Alliance, who was it referring to? This did not make sense.

This movie was about Cyberpunk and had won an award. There had to be a deeper meaning. He had to mock something.

No matter how he thought about it, there was nothing else he could mock.

Lu Xiaoping thought for a moment. “Alright, Boss Nie, I believe in your judgment.”

If it was really as Nie Yunsheng had said, Boss Pei’s current actions were like a pretext. It would be a huge loss if he was scared off. If he continued to attack, he might be able to win a huge victory.

What’s more, they had the right to continue attacking.

The true trump card of the anti-Tengda Alliance was’ My Property ‘. Even if they had suffered a loss in the battle of public opinion and were plotted against by Pei Qian, they could still salvage the situation when’ My Property ‘was released.

Since that was the case, why not take a shot?

…

…

September 13th, Friday.

Pei Qian paced around the office anxiously, waiting for Boss Li’s reply.

Another week passed after the announcement was released. In the end, Pei Qian realized that not only did the other party not restrain himself at all, but they also intensified.

Wasn’t that a scam?

He had already hinted so obviously. Why couldn’t this group of people understand?

Pei Qian waited patiently for three days after the announcement was released on Monday. He waited until Wednesday afternoon to realize that something was amiss. The other party did not seem to be showing any signs of restrain. That made him anxious.

The game would be officially released next week. When the truth was out, everything would be irreversible.

Thus, Pei Qian found Li Shi in private on Wednesday night, hoping that he could send a message to the anti-Tengda Alliance on his behalf. He wanted to tell Nie Yunsheng that there was really no intention of reflecting the Tengda Alliance in the movie ‘The Future You Choose’. All the antagonists inside would be played by Tengda Corporation’s own department.

The reason why he did not call him personally was mainly because he was afraid that Nie Yunsheng would misunderstand.

It would be difficult if Nie Yunsheng felt that Pei Qian was provoking him.

Letting Boss Li be the middleman should be able to facilitate the mutual understanding between both sides.

Yet, Boss Li did not reply even after Friday.

The discussions about this problem online intensified. It seemed like the other party was unwilling to let go and was adding fuel to the fire.

As he was wandering around, his cell phone rang.

Pei Qian saw that it was Li Shi and quickly picked up.

“Hello, how’s the situation? What did Nie Yunsheng say?”

Li Shi was a little speechless as he said, “Boss Pei, I followed your instructions and explained the situation to him earnestly. I called him three or four times to explain the situation over the past two days.”

“At first, he acted innocent and said that he had no idea about this at all. He said that I was looking for the wrong person. In short, he knew nothing.”

“He might have been harassed by me after that. He was obviously angry and said some truth.”

Pei Qian was stunned. “Truth? What did he say?”

Li Shi cleared his throat and imitated Nie Yunsheng’s tone. “This has nothing to do with me, but I still want to say that Boss Pei’s actions are making it worse, right?”

“If this movie really did not target our company, why would we have to spend so much effort to explain it with such fanfare?”

“The more you explain, the more it means that there is definitely a problem.”

“Boss Li, you don’t have to pretend to be a good person. Everyone knows that you and Boss Pei are in the same boat. You must have been instructed by Boss Pei to come here to persuade me. Go back and tell Boss Pei that I will definitely not fall for his trick.”

“Even if you have a glib tongue, I will definitely not believe a single word that comes out of your mouth.”

“Boss Pei is actually so kind as to worry about the fate of our companies. Who was the one who killed our companies back then? He looked so impressive.”

“Now, it’s obvious that Tengda has encountered a problem and asked us to do something. In the end, it still looks like it’s for our good. How fake. Go back and tell Boss Pei that there’s no need to talk about anything. If there’s anything, we’ll talk about it on the battlefield!”

He had to admit that Li Shi was very talented in imitating Nie Yunsheng’s tone.

There seemed to be three parts sarcasm, three parts ridicule, and three parts pride in his words. The last part was faintly firm.

Pei Qian sighed secretly.

Those kind words would not save the wretched.

He could only say that people could not understand each other in the end. His good intentions were ultimately treated as ill intent. Whether it was clarifying the announcement or private friendly reminders, it did not make Nie Yunsheng pull himself together. Instead, it made him more determined to accelerate and rush towards the cliff.

“Alright, Boss Li, you’ve worked hard.”

“Since that’s the case, let’s wait for the movie to be officially released.”

Pei Qian hung up silently, feeling that his fragile self had endured too much.

…

September 17th Tuesday

The no-show, Qiao Liang, was acting abnormally. He started live-streaming very early on. His fans were waiting for the brand new AAA game, ‘The Future You Choose’, to be released.

The game and movie of ‘The Future You Choose’ were hot topics of discussion online.

At first, it was because this movie had won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival. Then, some comments began to appear online. They guessed that this movie was mocking the companies that were opposing the Tengda Alliance. In the end, it attracted Tengda Corporation’s rejection.

However, this refute did not dispel everyone’s doubts. Instead, it attracted wider attention.

The audience was eagerly waiting for the official release of the movie. However, the movie had to wait until this Saturday. Instead, the game had been released four days in advance.

The timing was quite strange.

Film was not a proper schedule, and games were not even weekends.

However, everyone was already used to it. After all, given Tengda’s current size, they no longer needed to pay attention to the schedule. They could publish it whenever they wanted. In any case, it would be very popular.

Many people even took leave from their bosses in advance to play the game ‘The Future You Choose’ as soon as possible.

Qiao Liang also wanted to know if this game had defamed Tengda Alliance’s companies. What should he do with the Cyberpunk theme?

The same theme had been dismantled into two parts. One was a game and one was a movie. Would they use the same plot as Mission and Choice back then, or would they use the same background story to create two plots?

All in all, it was very exciting.

Qiao Liang chatted with the fans in the live-stream as he waited for the game to be released.

“Should I play the computer version or the computer version? Of course, I’ll get one for everyone. Is there a need to ask?”

“The computer version is for easier live-streaming. For better graphics. The motherboard is for faith and for collection. Both cannot be missing.”

“I have a feeling that this game will become a milestone for Tengda Games, just like Repent and be Saved and Struggle!”
